Senior Software Engineer

We are seeking an experienced Senior Golang Developer to join our fully remote engineering team. In this role, you will design, develop, and maintain high-performance, scalable backend systems and APIs using Go (Golang). As a senior member of the team, you will lead complex projects, mentor junior developers, and ensure code quality, system reliability, and performance optimization. This role requires strong technical expertise, problem-solving skills, and the ability to collaborate effectively in a distributed, remote environment.

Key Responsibilities

System Design and Development:

Architect, build, and maintain robust, scalable, and efficient backend systems and APIs using Go.

Design and implement microservices-based architectures, leveraging Go’s concurrency features (e.g., goroutines, channels).

Translate business requirements into technical specifications and deliver high-quality solutions.

Code Quality and Best Practices:

Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code adhering to Go best practices and coding standards.

Conduct thorough code reviews to ensure quality, consistency, and adherence to architectural guidelines.

Implement unit, integration, and end-to-end tests using Go’s testing package or frameworks like testify.

Performance Optimization:

Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks in applications and database queries.

Optimize systems for scalability, low latency, and high throughput to support growing user demands.

Leverage profiling tools (e.g., pprof) to analyze and improve application performance.

Technical Leadership:

Mentor junior and mid-level developers, providing guidance on Go programming and system design.

Lead technical discussions, propose innovative solutions, and drive architectural decisions.

Foster a culture of collaboration, continuous learning, and knowledge sharing within the remote team.

Collaboration in a Remote Environment:

Work closely with cross-functional teams, including frontend developers, DevOps engineers, product managers, and designers, using remote collaboration tools (e.g., Slack, Zoom, Jira).

Participate in agile ceremonies (e.g., stand-ups, sprint planning, retrospectives) conducted virtually.

DevOps and Deployment:

Collaborate with DevOps teams to deploy applications using CI/CD pipelines, containerization (e.g., Docker), and orchestration tools (e.g., Kubernetes).

Ensure smooth deployment and operation of applications in cloud environments (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure).

Implement monitoring and observability solutions (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Jaeger) to track system health.

Security and Compliance:

Implement security best practices, including authentication (e.g., OAuth, JWT), authorization, and data encryption.

Ensure compliance with data protection regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA) where applicable.

Address vulnerabilities and maintain secure coding practices.

Problem Solving and Troubleshooting:

Diagnose and resolve complex technical issues in production environments.

Provide root cause analysis for incidents and implement preventive measures.

Support on-call rotations for critical systems, if required.

Continuous Improvement:

Stay updated on the latest developments in the Go ecosystem, including new libraries, frameworks, and tools.

Contribute to internal tools, libraries, or open-source projects to enhance team productivity.

Propose process improvements to streamline remote workflows and development practices.

Qualifications

Required Qualifications:

Experience:

5+ years of professional software development experience, with at least 3+ years focused on Go (Golang) development.

Proven track record of building and deploying production-grade, scalable applications using Go.

Experience working in a remote or distributed team environment.

Technical Skills:

Advanced proficiency in Go, including deep understanding of concurrency patterns (goroutines, channels, mutexes, waitgroups).

Expertise in designing and building RESTful APIs, gRPC, or GraphQL services.

Strong knowledge of databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis) and experience optimizing queries and schemas.

Familiarity with microservices architecture, distributed systems, and event-driven systems.

Proficiency with version control systems (e.g., Git, GitHub, GitLab).

Experience with testing frameworks (e.g., Go’s testing package, testify) and writing comprehensive unit and integration tests.

Familiarity with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes).

• Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, CircleCI)
